...nder, rather than the list. However, on other lists I usually chat on, replies by default generally go to the list. This seems to encourage more discussion. Would it be a good idea to change that default? Or am I just crazy.

Hi all, I''m making an Amy Hoy style tip sheet PDF for the Prototype and Scriptaculous AJAX stuff, to be used with Rails. Are there other resources you would suggest besides the websites themselves (the previous thread about Highlight reminded me of this)? Is there a particular focus that would be helpful for such a document? Preferred fonts or colors? I must say, once you get

...rray of them. So my question is: am I barking up the wrong tree? Is there an easy way to address CSS properties of a class of objects on a page, or do I need to loop through them individually somehow? Has anyone tackled this one? Thanks, Raymond -- Raymond Brigleb, Needmore Designs http://needmoredesigns.com/

Is there a centralized list of Rails gems somewhere? Or even just a database of some kind of gems that can be useful to Rails apps, not just specific to Rails? -raymond -- Raymond Brigleb, Creative Director Needmore Designs -- The beautiful, usable web.

Greetings! I''m trying to set an environment variable in Rails. Why? I can''t use RMagick unless I do so. I can do it from the shell, run irb, and then require ''RMagick'' works. So far so good. But how can I do this from my application? I''m on a shared host so I''ve put in a ticket to have something like this added to httpd.conf: SetEnv

Looking at the archives, people have asked this before, but I can''t find a proper answer: How do you get sortable_element to return the dragged (moved) element? I know I can compare the list of elements before and after, but I need to know exactly which element was moved. The problem with comparing the list before and after is that if an element is dragged one element forward or

Hi -- My book "Ruby for Rails" is now being released one chapter at a time through the Manning Early Access Program, with the whole book due to appear on May 1. If you''re interested, see http://www.manning.com/books/black (I guess I could have just sent my sig with no body, but anyway :-) David -- David A. Black (dblack@wobblini.net) Ruby Power and Light

I''ve been working on some small Rails applications that I think might eventually be useful to others. Rather than just release them ad hoc, and since I develop with Subversion and such, it seems like it might be a good idea to find a good way to share them with the world in a way that they can grow and possibly take on a life of their own some day. This seems like a common need

I''m hoping someone more familiar with DHH''s acts_as_taggable plugin can help me out here... Tags being all the rage, and the subject of a good recipe in the forthcoming Pragmatic Rails Recipes book, I decided to give them a try. However, from what I can tell, they''re kind of application-wide by design. I know the social thing is hot, but I need my tags to be

Hello, I''m trying to use sortable_element to allow users to AJAXishly reorder a page of images. These are arranged in a grid format, not a vertical list, so I''m using Rails code like this to make it happen: <%= sortable_element ''thumbholder'', :tag => ''div'', :complete => visual_effect(:highlight,

Hello, I''m implementing sortables in Rails and I can''t seem to get the lovely effect from the Sortable Floats Demo on Thomas'' wonderful site: http://script.aculo.us/drag-and-drop#sortable-floats-demo Simply put, I can''t get the effect whereby you''re dragging the image. When I have a vertical or horizontal constraint on a list, the effect

Hi! I''m running a Rails app on Apache/FCGI, with a single handler process on the server. At one point my application needs to FTP a bunch of files to a remote server. When it starts doing this, the server apparently freezes and doesn''t allow anyone else to do anything. Plus, after about twenty seconds, my nice status page vanishes from the browser, even though the
